Savour the comforting mix of flavours in this Mexican hot chocolate, enhanced by the inviting warmth of Indian spices. The decadent cocoa melds seamlessly with the aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, resulting in a soothing beverage that’s just right for those chilly nights or a sweet treat after meals.
In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and add the crushed cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Set the pan on medium heat and warm the mixture until it’s just about to boil; this should take around 4 to 5 minutes.
Once small bubbles begin to appear along the edges, remove from the heat immediately to prevent boiling over.
Description - Step 2
Steep the aromas
Cover the saucepan with a lid and allow the spices to steep in the milk for about 5 minutes.
This resting time helps the milk absorb the rich, fragrant flavours of the Indian spices.

Add cocoa, chocolate, and sweeten
After steeping, put the saucepan back on medium heat.
Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate, and sugar, whisking continuously until both are fully dissolved and the milk takes on a smooth, velvety texture.
Taste and adjust the sweetness as per your taste.

Strain and serve
Once you've taken the saucepan off the heat, pour the hot chocolate through a fine mesh strainer into your mugs.
This step helps achieve a silky smooth texture by filtering out any spice residue.
